The things I always remember the veteran umpires telling me:

1) Try not to be the focus
2) On Close plays, you will be the focus, but everyone is watching the play - take a breath, then everyone is going to focus on you for the call - make a clear call
3) Work on the mechanics at home, so they become almost automatic on the field

Sounds like at least your partner wants to learn, he'll pick up the timing of the game better with experience.
